STYLE & STORIES PORTRAIT PORTFOLIO: Bettina Horvath
BY ERIKA
I met
Bettina Horvath only about a year ago when I attended a social media workshop she
presented in Somerset West.
But in this year she has become such an integral
part of Martin and my life on both a professional and personal level, it feels
as if we have known her forever.
What I
know about marketing a photographic studio on social media and using email, I
have learnt from Bettina.
When I
joined Xtraordinary Women there was Bettina, ceaselessly supporting inspiring
and teaching.
And
then we collaborated with Bettina the actress, marketer and director and self-confessed ‘drama
queen’ at the Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West.
As a master facilitator, Bettina has given Martin
Van Niekerk Photography the opportunity to photograph the people and
productions at the Playhouse, a job he thoroughly enjoys.
But now
Bettina is leaving.
After
17 years of marketing, selling, training and shaking up the inbound marketing
scene in South Africa, she and her son are going home to Vienna, Austria to do
the same there, of that I am sure.
We wish
you all the best Bettina, and we will miss you but if there is one person who
will use all technology has to offer to stay in touch and to continue inspiring,
it is you.
Auf wiedersehen!
PS: Bettina's STYLE & STORY
Typically Bettina style, her leaving will not happen quietly, no, she is going out with a bang!
Amidst packing up and organising her new life thousands of kilometres away, she is still managing to direct Sleuth, the classic thriller by Anthony Shaffer which opens on 24 July.

BY ERIKA
Graceful as a gazelle,
gentle as a breeze and beautifully brainy is Gisela ‘Dancer’ Iles.
When not dancing for
The Psychedelic Theatre performance art group she can be found in front of her
books as a Stellenbosch University student.
We first met Gisela as

Over the years we met
up again for photo shoots and recently for the Save The Tie, Save a Child fashion show in which she participated as performer and model for Saskia Wicomb’s
